Damn I hate to talk about Floyd/Manny. . . It has been run into the ground. . . But I just wanted to know what's up with the favoritism fighthype shows towards Floyd? Why sacrifice journalistic integrity just to try to help your favorite fighter out? Ben Thompson is a good writer, who is able to convey and express his opinions very well; indeed, a very well spoken gent. . . But I just can't help but notice how every article is pro-Floyd?

I mean, yeah Im sure Arum isn't helping the issue, but WHY WOULD FLOYD demand more than 50%? Wasn't that agreed upon ages ago? How can he still be pointing the finger at Arum, and not placing majority (or at least half of it) on Floyd himself?

You can make good, logical arguments for either side being more deserving of the lion's share. . . but they essentially negate each other out, and unless they want to do a winner take all, or winner take lion's share, THE ONLY LOGICAL split is 50/50 on everything. . .

Please don't "ban" me for this. . . I really just want to know why. . .

which website is telling both sides of the story? philboxing? maxboxing? boxingscene? eastsideboxing?

i wouldn't call fighthype pro-mayweather even though it's the only site that u can hear his side of the story unfiltered. there are plenty of posters here that do not totally agree with all that is said here. everyone is allowed to voice their opinions. what i love about the site is that the writers are pretty much down the middle in my opinion. they interview guys like ariza and give him a voice when arum gives the rest of the sites their cue cards so they can be sure to follow the script. the other cool thing about this site is that the writers aren't full of themselves and think they are the story unlike some other lame sites with lame writers trying to pass themselves off as experts or hard hitting journalists. bottom line in all of it...if u don't like what fighthype is reporting on...feel free to log onto another site. there are plenty out there. if u ever figure it out...u'll realize that this one is pretty much the best. at that point, i'm sure u'll be welcomed back. til then...cheers.
